Interesting topic - however the proponents of climate change have been their own worst enemy. Can I just start by saying that yes climate change is probably happening and yes it may well be man made. The problem is that for the past 15 years it has been impossible for anyone to question the science of climate change without being labelled "an idiot" or " a denier" or whatever. The fundamental problem with those pushing the climate change agenda is that they refuse to listen to anything else other than what suits their argument. There have been many respectable scientists over the years that have questioned some of the results that have been put forward. They were never given any chance to debate in a fair way. The truth is important and climate change may well be the truth but if you want to force an agenda down peoples throats without open and fair discussion you will get people turning against what can be seen as a bullying attitude. Climate change in the 90's and 2000's was like a cult. If you did not totally give yourself to it all and if you dared to challenge it you were essentially outcast and ridiculed. You can see what is happening with Trump now. It is irrelevant whether you like him or hate him. It is irrelevent whether he appeals to some people and not to others. It is irrelevant that he may be a complete fool or he may actually have the answers to many things. The point is nobody is allowing for independent thought anymore. How many people sit with their so called friends and colleagues and only speak the popular viewpoints because they are afraid of being ostracized or being thought of as an idiot. We are in real danger now of popular media and academics telling us what to think. This is why you now have the Trump factor and this answers your question.
